Summary "By Order of Buck Brady" by W. C. Tuttle is a crime fiction short story that likely dates back to the early 20th century. Set in the dusty, tense atmosphere of a frontier town in the American West, the narrative revolves around the antics of Buck Brady, the sheriff of Mojave Wells. The plot centers on a brewing feud between two young cowboys, Bud Hickman and Pete Asher, both vying for the affections of the same woman, and the potential for violence that threatens the town. In this engaging tale, Sheriff Buck Brady, known for his whittling, is presented with an escalating situation as the two cowboys prepare to duel over the affections of a girl named Rosie Smith. As the sun sets, Buck cleverly intervenes to prevent bloodshed by emptying both men's guns without their knowledge, revealing their misguided intentions fueled by the rivalry. Ultimately, Buck exposes the absurdity of their feud, pointing out that Rosie is no longer in town, emphasizing the futility of their conflict. The story wraps up with a humorous tone as Buck returns to his whittling, showcasing his unique approach to law enforcement and the unorthodox resolution of the conflict.
